PITTSBURG Aug 23 The olllccrs of
the Amalgamated Association had n con
ference today with several labor leaders
It was apparently a prearranged meeting
but after It was over lresldent Shaffer
said the otflcers of the other labor organi
zations had Just happened Into town
Among the men who were In Mr Shaf
fers olllce were John Mitchell lresldent
of the United Mine Workers of America
and Henry M White Grand Secretary of
the United Garment Workers It was
supposed that they came in response to
Mr Shaffers invitation President Shaf
fer is desirous of having other labor or
ganizations aid in the way of sympathetic
strikes but if that was tne case It is not
believed that he received much encourage
ment especially if the message he got
from P SI Arthur Chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers is to b
taken as a criterion
President Shaffer had written to Arthur
sounding him on the sympathetic strike I
question anu otner metnoos 01 nia in
response Chief Arthur wrote him a let
ter saying in substance that the engineer
were under contract with the railroads
and could not possibly indulge in a bym
pathetic strike In answer to Shatters
question whether the engineers would re
fuse to haul non union steel product Ar
thur replied that the engineers could
make no distinction between the Inlted
States Steel Corporation and other
Tonight Sir Shaffer declared that Henry
SI White and John Mitchell had dropped
in not as labor leaders but as members
of the Hoard of Slanagers of the National
Civic Federation which ha for one of its
tenets the adjustment of labor difficulties
iy arbitration They had discussed arbi
tration he said and this explanation of
the conference was borne out by the pres
ence of another Civic Federation member
J W Jenks professor of political econo
my at Cornell University and member of
the United States Industrial Commission
The three men named are well acquaint
ed with the Steel Trusts recent alleged
refusal to arbitrate the strike and It is
Inferred that they are really trjing to
induce Shaffer to agree to some basis
on which negotiations w ith the trus cau
be begun
John Mitchell said tonight that he wond
be glad to aid In terminating the stria
on terms honorable to the Amalgamated
Association
It was announced tonight by an officer
of the American Tin Plate Company that
the Star Tin Plate SII11 recently started
up here will be used for the training of
new hands who will then be sent to start
up the other idle tin plate mills
SIcKEESPORT Pa Aug 23 SIcKees
port business men are arranging fo a
meeting to take some action regarding
the attitude of Slay or Robert J Black
The strike Is already costing the busln ss
people about J239J0 a week If the mayor
would assure protection to workers at
least two thirds of this sum would be
saved as the ten thousand employes of
the National Tube Company are largely
In favor of going to work The object of
the meeting would be to demand that the
major thoroughly explain what his in
tentions are
Mayor Black is Indignant at the an
nouncement in the local papers that the
merchants were going to call u meeting
He says no meeting of the kind is neces
sary as ever body knows where he stands
and what he Intends to do Above all
things he proposes to preserve the peace
but he will not allow- the Steel Corpora
tion to commit any acts that will tend
to the disturbance of the peace Neither
wUl be allow the strikers to do anything
of the same character The city police he
contends are not hired to guard the prop
erty of private corporations and he does
not propose to allow them to be used for
that purpose
The tin plate mills are still fired up
As a heavy rain Is falling tonight the
strikers expect that an attempt will be
made to slip men in while the pickets
ere under shelter and they are exercis
ing more than ordinary vigilance
The men expect to parade to Duquesne
tomorrow but the leaders discountenance
such a move and are talking it down
Burgess George Estep of Duquesne will
not allow any demonstrations on that side
cf the river and If the strikers march
over there they will have to be quiet
and orderly
MAY RETURN AT JOLIET
Bteel Striker Issue it Miltemeiit to
the Public
JOLIET III Aug 23 Thomas Aprelius
and Frederick Robinson two of the old
est Amalgamated men in Joliet and mem
bers of the Press Committee today is
sued a statement saving the relations be
tween the officials of the Illinois Bteel
Company and the men always have been
the happiest and most agreeable adding
Even at the present time when It
would be fair to suppose that there might
be strained relations between men and
company there has not been a ripple to
brcik the peaceful calm
Wc have no grievaiee to settle with
the mill officials of the Illinois Steel Com
pany and If that were the only barrier
between us the plant would start to
morrow morning so certain do we feel
that nothing but the best of feeling ex
ists
The committee also authorized the
statement that If South Chicago decided
to remain at worn a Joint committee of
strikers from Bay View and Joliet would
Immediately be named whose duty would
be to decide on the best course to pur
sue What that course might be they
would not intimate except to say that
It would be honorable and commendable
Some InUrprct this to mean that the
mills would resume in the near future

PARIS Aug 23 The news of the ap

view of the Trench fleet at Dunkirk had
a peculiar effect today Contrary to cus
tom when President Loubet appeared
on the street he was cheered freely and
his name was coupled by the public with

THE DELAY IN SIGNING
Chinese OHIc lals Give Out n Diplo
matic Eiiiluiiutliiit
PEK1N Aug 21 The Chinese pleni
potentiaries announced yesterday that
their signing of the protocol would be de
layed until next week a hitch having
occurred through the failure of the Chi
nese to punish the officials concerned in
the massacre of Chechiang though they
are under sentence
The chief reason given by the Chinese
however for their failure to sign Is the
continued occupation of the Summer
Palace by the British Sir Ernest Satow
the British Sllnister will demand that
the Chinese carry out the sentence im
posed on the guilty officials and submit
evidence that this has been done
It is expected that the punishment
edicts will be compiled with which will
compute the provisions of the protocol
upon Ahlch Its signing depends

with the Vice Presidency says that he Is
not seeking the office but Is at the dis

what they desire
The commttec appointed to draft a let
ter to Senor Palma asking him to make
his position more clear has adopted one
prepared by Gualberto Gomez It has not
been made public La Lucha however
says that it advises Senor Palma to de
clare himself in favor of a modification
of the Piatt amendment
Gomez says that while the contents of
the letter have not been made public
they arc to the effect that Senor Palma
should say that some of the clauses of
the Piatt amendment are against the
wishes of the Cuban- while they are of
no use to the Americans and that if the
opportunity arises he will favor changing
these clauses especially the Intervention
clause Gomez says that In his opinion
the United States will probably intervene
in Colombia notwithstanding the fact
that they have no treaty with Colombia
by which the latter recognizes the right
of intervention
Regarding the payment of the Cuban
army the letter recognizes the principle
but advises Senor Palma to declare that
all the army debts will have to be care
fully revised before payment It also
ays that Culia must not offer too much
to the United States at first In the way
of tariff concession as Cuba needs the
revenues from the cutoms

belle of Richmond Va Accompanied by
a friend of the bridegroom the young
couple vi ho It is said had known each
other only- one week went to the home of
the elerk of the Supreme Court of the
District ot Columbia at 9JM oclock on
Thursday night and Induced him to go
to bis olfl e and Issue them a marriage
license The marriage ceremony was then
performed Sir and Sirs Turner sailed on
Saturday for Europe
The sequel to this story transpired to
day when Sir Turner who has been driv
ing cab No 1525 In this city clambered
down from his box threw the reins to a
companion and took the Pennsylvania
limited for Washington
It Is several weeks since Sir and Sirs
Turner returned from their exceedingly
bilcf bridal trip to Europe It Is no sub
version of facts to declare that the face
of the honeymoon was darkly obscured
by several sorts of cloads Chief among
them were towering financial storm sig
nals At the pier they were met by Sirs
Turners relatives who bore the bride
back to her Virginia home
Sir Turner who is heir to an estate
of a million and a half dollars which he
attains when he becomes twenty five
years of age or earlier at the discretion
ot his mother had alnly cabled to his
parent for funds Abandoned by his y oung
wife he promptly entered the employ of
John Sllddleton as driver of a hansom
cab
It was after completing his studies at
Cornell that young Turners mother took
him to Wnsllngton last June to secure
him a berth In the Navy Department
AVhllc wailing for his appointment young
Turner met Sllss Maya or the famous
family of that name fell at once a vic
tim to her fascinations nnd married her
after a brief but ardent courtship
Sllss Siayo who Is a relative of ex
Governor Wise was visiting relatives In
Washington at the time and was being
greatly feted In honor of her recently an
nounced engagement to a young stock
broker Since returning to her parents
his wife has preserved a haughty silence
toward her husband until yesterday
whenlshe telegraphed him that poverty
by his side seemed far more Joyous a lot
than the wealth of her family without
him
Until the receipt of this message Sir
Turner had spurned the entreaties of his
mother who had begged him to return
home and enter Into his inheritance Upon
hearing from his wife he disclosed the
state of affairs to his fellow cabbies who
promptly put him In possession of suffi
cient tuntis to enable him to Join his
bride
The elder Sirs Turner is visiting friends
in Atlantic City The young couple will
Join her there and later take a second
hone moon trip to Europe

ATLANTIC CITY NVJ Aug
and probably dying from a broken
neck Joseph Matthews quartermaster of
the United States cruiser Newark who
had just returned from a three years
cruise to make Sllss Ella Sain his wife
was married today In a ward in the
City- Hospital The marriage was per
formed at the request of the bridegroom
who had been Informed that he was about
to undergo a dangerous operation which
in all probability would prove fatal He
was unable to move his arm and It had
to be lifted to enable him to reach the
hand of the bride
Slatthews was a resident of 2310 Collins
Street Philadelphia and his wife lived
at 202 South Thirty second Street East
Camden N J
Before Slatthews sailed the girl who
today became his wife promised to marry
him The wedding was set for two weeks
from today Last Sunday the young man
came to the seashore for a surf bath He
was told there was seven feet of water
under the board walk and dived from a
height of perhaps eight feet There were
but two feet of water and when he
struck he lay unconscious When he re
gained his senses he was in the hospital
paralyzed from the chest down The
doctors told him that he would probably
die He sent at once for Sllss Sain
and when she arrived pleaded that she
become his wife before he died The
young woman consented
This afternoon with her mother Sirs
Ellz vbeth Sain and her brother Francis
Sain she returned to this city As the
young man is a Catholic and Sllss Sain
a Protestant It was impossible for him
to be married by a priest without a dis
pensation from the Bishop As it would
require several davs to obtain this and
as the bridegroom feared he would die in
the meantime mother and daughter de
cided to have the civil marriage performed
at once A Justice of the peace was called
and the ceremony performed at the bride
grooms bedside with the bride and her
mother In tears
An hour after the ceremony the bride
groom was removed to the operating
room where Dr Emery Sfarvel and the
public physician J R Doughty removed
the seventh cervical vertebrae which was
fractured Few patients undergoing simi
lar operations which are rare survive
hut Slatthews who is twenty three years
old has youth and health in his favor
There is one chance n a hundred that
he will recover Just before he was taken
to the operating room he received the
last sacraments

the curve at a hish rate of speed It was
only a short distance from the obstruc

M VOTES FOR THE NEGRO
Abridged Electorate jlay Approve
Airginias Constitution
Sentiment In Richmond Shown In n
Debate Ovrr the Proclamation or
the Iciimriit Cherr Greet Park
Keuly to the Ilea of OFInherty
RICHSIOND Va Aug 23 The atti
tude of the majority of the Constitutional
Convention on the negro suffrage was
Plainly manifested in the manner by
which the speeches touching this question
were received on the floor today
Sir OFlahcrty advocated the submis
sion of the constitution to the electorate
as at present
constituted and was
listened to attentively- but in silence
captain Parks responded and advocated
an abridged electorate
and he was ap
plauded to the echo He said that when
Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are
created equal he never dreamed of
negroes
I shall favor the submission of tha
constitution to un electorate created by
1 ana l at extent 1
shall vote to proclaim iL
This sentiment was received with de
monstrations of npprovaL
Sir OFlaherty speaking to an amend
ment offered by Sir Wysor said In part
The problem of
promulgating or pro
claiming the constitution should be met
now The advocates of that doctrine
should not be allowed further time to
gain strength
As a legal proposition I am willing
to admit that we have the power to pro
claim the constitution
provided the peo
ple approve It
J bellev e there Is no sovereign on earth
superior to us technically speaking That
was why I took the position I did on the
oath question The power of the legis
lature Is subordinate to that of this con
vention No potentate on earth has the
power of this convention
Decisions of the bupreme Court can
not bind us here for we can abolish the
Supreme Court itself so far as our power
goes I studied constitutional law un
der the great legal luminary John Ran
dolph Tucker and I do not hesitate to
say- that neither precedent nor bupremo
Court decisiops can bind or control or
restrict our power
But the question with me is Is it right
to do this thing I do not believe it Is
It Is our duty to eliminate from the pres
ent body politic the rubbish and the scum
nnd to submit to a proposed electorate
for their approval or rejection this
work of our hands
It Is the duty of the Suffrage Com
mittee to select the representatives of the
franchise from all classes and Interests
of the great masses of the people ir
you submit the constitution to this elect
orate you have public sentiment to op
pose it and this Is the only government
of the people by the people and for tha
people
If we proclaim this constitution we
Virginia you win see tre Republican party
In power in this State
Daniel Webster said there was a power
on earth greater than earthquakes or
whirlwinds and It was the power of tho
indignation of an outraged people
Beware my fellow colleagues of that
greatest force on earth the power of an
indignant people Let us word the report
of the Bill of Rights Committee We
the people do propose Instead of We
the people do ordain
Captain Parks the delegate from Page
followed Sir He defended tha
report made by the Committee on the Bill
of Rights and opposed the amendment
offered by Sir Wysor and advocat
ed by- Sir O Flaherty He said tha
Idea of the committee In not recommend
ing a preamble was to avoid raking In
the embers of the past and reviving names
that should die out
I yield the palm to no man for devo
tion and honor to the fathers of the old
constitutions of Virginia to the defenders
of our rights in pence and in war and
shall te ch my- children to honor and re
spect them It Is not sacrilege to aban
don the preamble feature of the consti
tution
The Bill of Rights has been reported
almost exactly as Slason drew it and not
a change has been made as to any prin
ciple underlying the Inherent rights of
man That is practical sentiment
The only changes made are made
necessary by charged conditions from the
dav of Slason and Jefferson and if
George Slason w ere here today- he would
approve of them
The speaker then reached the question
of Sir Wysors amendment He said If
the new constitution contained what he
hoped it would he should never agree to
submit it to the present electorate for
adoption
When Thomas Jefferson wrote all raeii
are created equal he referred to the Aryan
race and never dreamed of negroes Sly
old black mammy at her request was
buried byme at the foot of my mothers
grave in our family- graveyard and I
have feelings of charity nnd not hate
for the race but never will I admit that
Africans here or anywhere else are equals
it to such a severe test before it had been I r white men in governing white men or
properly stretched The yacht sailed back
to her nnd she was anchored in
the Horseshoe about 1 ociock

larity in office by having a large deposltt

Bank at Austin at the time it was closed
by a national bark examiner a few weeks
ago the House of R presentntives this
franrir constitutions
I shall favor the submission of the
constitution to an electorate created by
this convention and to that extent I shall
vote to proclaim It
Throughout his speech Captain Parks
was constantly Interrupted by- deafening
applause showing plainly the sentiment
of the majority of the members of the
convention
